B Solo travel, or traveling alone, wasn’t considered safe, ideal or fashionable for Indian women 25 years ago. But that didn’t stop Dr. Sudha Mahalingam. When she followed her husband on his work trips abroad, she used the opportunities to make her adventurous trips. Two decades ago, Mahalingam quit her job in mainstream print journalism and switched careers to take up energy research. Soon after, she started receiving invitations to speak at international conferences in oil producing countries and the world of travel opened up to her. Today, at 70, she has visited 66 countries across six continents, which she shares on her blog Footloose Indian as well as in her book The Travel Gods Must Be Crazy. Owing to a busy schedule of managing work and family, Mahalingam often had no time to organize her travel, so most of her early trips were sudden and unplanned. She landed in the Czech Republic without a valid (有效的) visa, faced the challenge of finding vegetarian food in China, got accidentally locked in a museum in Iran and was caught without proof of a yellow fever vaccination (疫苗接种) at the airport in Nairobi, Kenya. Though Mahalingam sometimes travels with friends, most of her journeys are solo. Her most recent international adventure that stands out was her trip to Borneo in Southeast Asia. “There were crawlies (爬虫) everywhere and fallen leaves as high as one meter. You put your foot and won’t know if a snake would stick itself around your leg or whether a poisonous insect would bite you. It was pouring all the time. I have been to the Amazon rainforest as well but it was a cakewalk compared to Borneo,” she says. Mahalingam has been addicted to different adventure sports too, including diving and hang-gliding. She also made a difficult journey to Everest base camp and, at the age of 66, went skydiving in Uluru, Australia. 4. What did Mahalingam do 25 years ago? A. She began traveling to other countries. B. She gave lectures on print journalism. C. She followed her husband to India. D. She managed to keep family-work balance. 5. How is paragraph 3 mainly developed? A. By describing a process. B. By giving examples. C. By making a comparison. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 6. Why did Mahalingam mention the Amazon rainforest in paragraph 4? A. To tell the differences between Borneo and the Amazon rainforest. B. To prove the wide extent of Mahalingam’s travels. C. To emphasize the importance of the Amazon rainforest. D. To highlight the hardship of her Borneo trip. 7. Which of the following best describes Mahalingam? A. Creative. B. Courageous. C. Considerate. D. Demanding C Generally speaking, convenience and safety affect how we choose to pay for things. Environmental concerns do, too. Each time you pull out a credit, use a phone’s wallet app or hand over cash, you take part in a system. Some parts of that system make things, like coins, bills or cards. Other parts move money between buyers, sellers, banks and others. Used cash, cards and equipment will be eventually disposed of (处理), as well. Each part of this system uses materials and energy. And all parts produce waste. Now researchers are looking more closely at how “green” these payment systems are. They’re finding buyers can help cut some of the environmental costs, no matter how they pay. To understand the full “cost” to society of money or any other system, researchers can perform what’s called a life-cycle assessment. It looks at all the environmental impacts of a product or process. It starts with mining, growing or making the raw materials. It includes what happens while something is in use. And it considers the final disposal or reuse of things. Even though raw materials are the first step, in fact there are raw materials added in at every single step along the journey. For money, raw materials go into each step of something that is “made”. Fuels are the raw materials for energy to make products and transport them. More energy goes into using products. Recycling or disposal also requires energy, plus water, soil or other materials. People don’t realize most of those steps, so they can’t judge if one form of payment is dirtier or more costly. And that’s a problem, researchers say. It’s also what has got some of them to show more about the costs of how we pay for our lifestyles. A life-cycle assessment doesn’t tell you what to do. However, it gives you an informed basis for making a decision. 8. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The ways of paying. B. The process of payment. C. The waste produced by payment. D. The introduction of payment systems. 9. What does the life-cycle assessment of payment systems focus on? A. The real value of money. B. The history of the currency. C. The effect on the environment. D. The importance of raw material. 10. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. Steps. B. Products. C. Materials. D. Fuels. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Payment Patterns are Changing B. How We Choose to Pay Affects the Environment C. New Payment Patterns Have Come into Being D. How We Make Payment Systems “Green” D Deep sleep doesn’t just rest your body. Scientists believe it’s also when the brain washes away toxins (毒素), with a new project looking at whether the brain’s self-clean can be boosted. South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) neuroscientist Dr Tim Sargeant has teamed with Dr Edward Robins from SAHMRI’s Molecular Imaging and Therapy Research Unit to develop a brain scan that shows how well a brain is cleaning itself. Studies have shown that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia (痴呆). Scientists believe our brains clean themselves out each night when we enter deep sleep. Cerebrospinal fluid (脑脊液) is thought to wash through the brain, cleaning out toxins. Studies have shown a clear link between poor memory and toxins like the buildup of sticky plaques (粘性斑块) in the brains. Scientists believe brains that have a buildup of this plaque over time may not be cleaning themselves properly, putting people at risk of dementia. Fortunately, the hope is that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia. The brain scan will use special material to track how well the brain can keep itself clean and healthy through the process of removing and recycling its waste. “We’re aiming to catch the signs of the brain struggling to keep itself clean in individuals around the age of 50 or 60, well before the onset of Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症) in most people,” Dr Sargeant said. This new scan, an exciting imaging technology, will allow scientists to form a picture of a living brain and watch how it’s recycling wasting material in real time. “The scan takes out a lot of the guess work, by allowing scientists to see with their own eyes if they’ve hit the target or not,” Dr Robins said. “Without imaging, a researcher can get all the way up to the trial stage before realising they’re at a dead end.” 12. What is the aim of Dr Sargeant and Dr Robins’ developing the brain scan? A. To help people enter deep sleep. B. To reduce memory loss and dementia. C. To research how to remove sticky plaques. D. To study what the brain uses to clean itself. 13. What may cause dementia according to the text? A. Not enough blood in the brain. B. Too frequent cleaning of the brain. C. The increase of cerebrospinal fluid. D. The gradual increase of sticky plaques. 14. What does the underlined word “onset” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Beginning. B. Improvement. C. Worsening. D. Disappearance. 15. What does Dr Robins think of the brain scan? A. It brings more work. B. It is just imaginary. C. It is quite effective. D. It is far from exact. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Field trips have now become a popular and well-established method of education.

I had been taught that money couldn’t buy everything ever since I was a little kid. My parents are the most hard-working people I have ever seen. As much as my parents tried to teach me these values, some could only be learned through personal experiences. As a child, I would sit in the church trying to concentrate on the words of the priest (牧师)，but my attention was soon attracted by the shining gold and the diamonds worn by the Saturday churchgoers. As my eyes began to wander, I noticed men dressed in their tailored suits and shirts with women in their designer dresses. My family, on the other hand, was the opposite of rich. Our clothes had been washed so many times that the colors had become dull and lifeless. Although this showed the money struggles of our large family, our faces were always washed and hair neatly combed. When sitting on the old big red and white truck after the service, I pictured the lives led by those driving their brand-new cars, wishing I would be one of them. I never stopped those daydreams, even when I was in middle school. Since it was a private school, most of the children came from wealthy families. Although I could hide my lack of wealth at school by wearing our school uniforms, my situation was embarrassingly obvious on weekends with my classmates wearing designer jeans and I had no choice but to wear my sisters’ old jeans. I never fitted in with my classmates. To my relief, there was only one girl named Julie who opened her heart to me. I was attached to her. Soon, her birthday was approaching. Julie invited me to attend her birthday party. Paragraph 1： However, I grew upset as I couldn’t afford a gift. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When she opened the gift box, my heart was too nervous to beat. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 石家庄二中教育集团2024-2025学年度高一年级下学期 期中考试英语试卷 （时间：120分钟， 分值：150分） 第一部分　听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

But that didn’t stop Dr. Sudha Mahalingam. When she followed her husband on his work trips abroad, she used the opportunities to make her adventurous trips. (25年前，独自旅行对于印度女性来说，不被认为是安全、理想或时尚的。但这并没有阻止苏达・马哈林加姆博士。当她跟随丈夫出国工作旅行时，她利用这些机会进行她的冒险之旅。)”可知，25年前她开始去其他国家旅行。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Owing to a busy schedule of managing work and family, Mahalingam often had no time to organize her travel, so most of her early trips were sudden and unplanned. She landed in the Czech Republic without a valid (有效的) visa, faced the challenge of finding vegetarian food in China, got accidentally locked in a museum in Iran and was caught without proof of a yellow fever vaccination (疫苗接种) at the airport in Nairobi, Kenya. (由于管理工作和家庭的繁忙日程，马哈林加姆常常没有时间安排她的旅行，所以她早期的大多数旅行都是突然且无计划的。她在没有有效签证的情况下降落在捷克共和国，在中国面临寻找素食的挑战，在伊朗意外地被锁在博物馆里，在肯尼亚内罗毕的机场被发现没有黄热病疫苗接种证明。)”可知，第三段通过列举她在不同国家遇到的具体事例来展开。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“‘There were crawlies (爬虫) everywhere and fallen leaves as high as one meter. You put your foot and won’t know if a snake would stick itself around your leg or whether a poisonous insect would bite you. It was pouring all the time. I have been to the Amazon rainforest as well but it was a cakewalk compared to Borneo,’ she says. (‘到处都是爬虫，落叶高达一米。你迈出脚，不知道一条蛇是否会缠绕在你的腿上，或者一只有毒的昆虫是否会咬你。天一直在下雨。我也去过亚马逊雨林，但与婆罗洲相比，那简直是小菜一碟，’她说。)”可知，提到亚马逊雨林是为了突出她在婆罗洲旅行的艰难。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“She landed in the Czech Republic without a valid visa, faced the challenge of finding vegetarian food in China, got accidentally locked in a museum in Iran and was caught without proof of a yellow fever vaccination at the airport in Nairobi, Kenya. (她曾在没有有效签证的情况下降落在捷克共和国，在中国面临寻找素食的挑战，在伊朗意外被锁在博物馆里，在肯尼亚内罗毕机场被发现没有黄热病疫苗接种证明。)”以及最后一段 “Mahalingam has been addicted to different adventure sports too, including diving and hang - gliding. She also made a difficult journey to Everest base camp and, at the age of 66, went skydiving in Uluru, Australia .(马哈林加姆也沉迷于各种冒险运动，包括潜水和悬挂式滑翔。她还艰难地前往了珠峰大本营，并在66岁时在澳大利亚的乌鲁鲁跳伞。)”等内容可知，她在旅行中面对各种困难和挑战都不畏惧，还热衷于冒险运动，说明她很勇敢。故选B。 C Generally speaking, convenience and safety affect how we choose to pay for things. Environmental concerns do, too. Each time you pull out a credit, use a phone’s wallet app or hand over cash, you take part in a system. Some parts of that system make things, like coins, bills or cards. Other parts move money between buyers, sellers, banks and others. Used cash, cards and equipment will be eventually disposed of (处理), as well. Each part of this system uses materials and energy. And all parts produce waste. Now researchers are looking more closely at how “green” these payment systems are. They’re finding buyers can help cut some of the environmental costs, no matter how they pay. To understand the full “cost” to society of money or any other system, researchers can perform what’s called a life-cycle assessment. It looks at all the environmental impacts of a product or process. It starts with mining, growing or making the raw materials. It includes what happens while something is in use. And it considers the final disposal or reuse of things. Even though raw materials are the first step, in fact there are raw materials added in at every single step along the journey. For money, raw materials go into each step of something that is “made”. Fuels are the raw materials for energy to make products and transport them. More energy goes into using products. Recycling or disposal also requires energy, plus water, soil or other materials. People don’t realize most of those steps, so they can’t judge if one form of payment is dirtier or more costly. And that’s a problem, researchers say. It’s also what has got some of them to show more about the costs of how we pay for our lifestyles. A life-cycle assessment doesn’t tell you what to do. However, it gives you an informed basis for making a decision. 8. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The ways of paying. B. The process of payment. C. The waste produced by payment. D. The introduction of payment systems. 9. What does the life-cycle assessment of payment systems focus on? A. The real value of money. B. The history of the currency. C. The effect on the environment. D. The importance of raw material. 10. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. Steps. B. Products. C. Materials. D. Fuels. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Payment Patterns are Changing B. How We Choose to Pay Affects the Environment C. New Payment Patterns Have Come into Being D. How We Make Payment Systems “Green” 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要论述了携带便利性和安全性会影响我们的支付方式，同时我们选择的支付方式也会影响环境。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。由第二段“Each time you pull out a credit, use a phone’s wallet app or hand over cash, you take part in a system. Some parts of that system make things, like coins, bills or cards. Other parts move money between buyers, sellers, banks and others. Used cash, cards and equipment will be eventually disposed of (处理), as well. Each part of this system uses materials and energy. And all parts produce waste. (每次你提取信用卡、使用手机钱包应用程序或交出现金时，你都会参与一个系统。这个系统的某些部分制造东西，比如硬币、钞票或卡片。其他部分在买家、卖家、银行和其他人之间转移资金。用过的现金、卡和设备也将最终被处理掉。这个系统的每个部分都使用材料和能源。所有零件都会产生废物)”可知，第二段主要介绍了当人们在支付时支付系统的运作过程。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由第四段中的“To understand the full “cost” to society of money or any other system, researchers can perform what’s called a life-cycle assessment. It looks at all the environmental impacts of a product or process. (为了了解金钱或任何其他系统对社会的全部“成本”，研究人员可以进行所谓的生命周期评估。它关注产品或过程的所有环境影响)”可知，生命周期评估着眼于产品或过程对环境的所有影响。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。由第五段中的“Fuels are the raw materials for energy to make products and transport them. More energy goes into using products. (燃料是生产产品和运输them的能源原材料。更多的能量用于使用产品)”可知，根据语境判断此处指运输产品，可得出“them”指代“products (产品)”。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。由第一段“Generally speaking, convenience and safety affect how we choose to pay for things. Environmental concerns do, too. (一般来说，方便和安全会影响我们选择如何付款。对环境问题也是如此)”和下文内容可知，文章介绍了支付系统和各种支付方式都会对环境造成影响，B项“我们如何选择支付方式会影响环境”符合文意。故选B项。 D Deep sleep doesn’t just rest your body. Scientists believe it’s also when the brain washes away toxins (毒素), with a new project looking at whether the brain’s self-clean can be boosted. South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) neuroscientist Dr Tim Sargeant has teamed with Dr Edward Robins from SAHMRI’s Molecular Imaging and Therapy Research Unit to develop a brain scan that shows how well a brain is cleaning itself. Studies have shown that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia (痴呆). Scientists believe our brains clean themselves out each night when we enter deep sleep. Cerebrospinal fluid (脑脊液) is thought to wash through the brain, cleaning out toxins. Studies have shown a clear link between poor memory and toxins like the buildup of sticky plaques (粘性斑块) in the brains. Scientists believe brains that have a buildup of this plaque over time may not be cleaning themselves properly, putting people at risk of dementia. Fortunately, the hope is that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia. The brain scan will use special material to track how well the brain can keep itself clean and healthy through the process of removing and recycling its waste. “We’re aiming to catch the signs of the brain struggling to keep itself clean in individuals around the age of 50 or 60, well before the onset of Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症) in most people,” Dr Sargeant said. This new scan, an exciting imaging technology, will allow scientists to form a picture of a living brain and watch how it’s recycling wasting material in real time. “The scan takes out a lot of the guess work, by allowing scientists to see with their own eyes if they’ve hit the target or not,” Dr Robins said. “Without imaging, a researcher can get all the way up to the trial stage before realising they’re at a dead end.” 12. What is the aim of Dr Sargeant and Dr Robins’ developing the brain scan? A. To help people enter deep sleep. B. To reduce memory loss and dementia. C. To research how to remove sticky plaques. D. To study what the brain uses to clean itself. 13. What may cause dementia according to the text? A. Not enough blood in the brain. B. Too frequent cleaning of the brain. C. The increase of cerebrospinal fluid. D. The gradual increase of sticky plaques. 14. What does the underlined word “onset” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Beginning. B. Improvement. C. Worsening. D. Disappearance. 15. What does Dr Robins think of the brain scan? A. It brings more work. B. It is just imaginary. C. It is quite effective. D. It is far from exact. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家们研究深睡眠时大脑自我清洁的现象，发现深睡眠有助于清除大脑中的毒素，与记忆力和抵御痴呆症有关。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) neuroscientist Dr Tim Sargeant has teamed with Dr Edward Robins from SAHMRI’s Molecular Imaging and Therapy Research Unit to develop a brain scan that shows how well a brain is cleaning itself. Studies have shown that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia(痴呆). (南澳大利亚健康与医学研究所（SAHMRI）的神经科学家Tim Sergeant博士与SAHMRI分子成像和治疗研究部门的Edward Robins博士合作，开发了一种脑部扫描，显示大脑的自我清洁情况。研究表明，干净的大脑有助于记忆，同时对抗痴呆)”可知，Tim Sargeant博士与Edward Robins博士开发大脑扫描的目的是研究大脑用什么来自我清洁，故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Scientists believe brains that have a buildup of this plaque over time may not be cleaning themselves properly, putting people at risk of dementia. (科学家认为，随着时间的推移，这种斑块积聚的大脑可能无法正确清洁自己，使人们面临痴呆的风险。)”可知，粘性斑块的增加可能导致痴呆症，故选D项。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第四段中““We’re aiming to catch the signs of the brain struggling to keep itself clean in individuals around the age of 50 or 60, well before the onset of Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症) in most people,” Dr Sargeant said. (“我们的目标是在大多数人onset阿尔茨海默症之前，捕捉到大脑在努力保持自身清洁的迹象，这些人通常在50或60岁左右”Sargeant博士说。)”可知，此处是指患病之前，由此猜测，onset的意思是“开始，发病”，故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This new scan, an exciting imaging technology, will allow scientists to form a picture of a living brain and watch how it’s recycling wasting material in real time. “The scan takes out a lot of the guess work, by allowing scientists to see with their own eyes if they’ve hit the target or not,” Dr Robins said. “Without imaging, a researcher can get all the way up to the trial stage before realising they’re at a dead end.” (这项新的扫描是一项令人兴奋的成像技术，将使科学家能够形成一个活体大脑的图像，并实时观察它如何回收浪费的材料。罗宾斯博士说：“扫描消除了很多猜测工作，让科学家亲眼看到他们是否击中了目标”。“在没有成像的情况下，研究人员可以一路走到试验阶段，然后才意识到他们处于死胡同。”)”可知，Dr Robins认为大脑扫描非常有效，故选C项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Field trips have now become a popular and well-established method of education.

I had been taught that money couldn’t buy everything ever since I was a little kid. My parents are the most hard-working people I have ever seen. As much as my parents tried to teach me these values, some could only be learned through personal experiences. As a child, I would sit in the church trying to concentrate on the words of the priest (牧师)，but my attention was soon attracted by the shining gold and the diamonds worn by the Saturday churchgoers. As my eyes began to wander, I noticed men dressed in their tailored suits and shirts with women in their designer dresses. My family, on the other hand, was the opposite of rich. Our clothes had been washed so many times that the colors had become dull and lifeless. Although this showed the money struggles of our large family, our faces were always washed and hair neatly combed. When sitting on the old big red and white truck after the service, I pictured the lives led by those driving their brand-new cars, wishing I would be one of them. I never stopped those daydreams, even when I was in middle school. Since it was a private school, most of the children came from wealthy families. Although I could hide my lack of wealth at school by wearing our school uniforms, my situation was embarrassingly obvious on weekends with my classmates wearing designer jeans and I had no choice but to wear my sisters’ old jeans. I never fitted in with my classmates. To my relief, there was only one girl named Julie who opened her heart to me. I was attached to her. Soon, her birthday was approaching. Julie invited me to attend her birthday party. Paragraph 1： However, I grew upset as I couldn’t afford a gift. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When she opened the gift box, my heart was too nervous to beat. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】However, I grew upset as I couldn’t afford a gift. It would be such an embarrassing scene to be present without a gift. I even thought about quitting, but I was not able to bring it forth. I struggled for days but couldn’t figure out any solution. One day, while helping with my hardworking parents with the housework, it suddenly occurred to me that maybe I could make a gift by myself. I immediately started my DIY project, which ended up with a toy doll. The big day finally came. I arrived at her house and handed her the box. When she opened the gift box, my heart was too nervous to beat. I looked closely at her face, wondering if she would just laugh at me. What happened next was totally beyond my imagination. Upon seeing the doll, Julie let out a cry of excitement and she held it close to her face, saying repeatedly that it was the sweetest gift she had ever received. Her words freed me. I couldn’t help smiling together with her. At that precious moment, I realized money couldn’t buy everything. It was our friendship that really mattered. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者回忆了自己小时候对金钱的向往，但家庭贫困的现实。在上学时，作者因为贫穷而与同学格格不入，但唯一的朋友朱莉邀请作者参加生日聚会。作者为了避免空手去参加聚会时的尴尬，决定自己制作礼物。朱莉收到礼物后非常开心，作者意识到金钱并不是最重要的，真正重要的是友谊。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，我变得心烦意乱，因为我买不起礼物。”可知，第一段可描写作者认为不带礼物出席Julie的生日聚会，场面会很尴尬，后来想到可以自制礼物，最终做了一个玩具娃娃，送给了Julie。 ②由第二段首句内容“当她打开礼品盒的时候，我的心紧张得跳不动了。”可知，第二段可描写作者发现Julie很喜欢这个自制的玩具娃娃时的如释重负，并意识到钱并不能买到一切，两人之间的友谊才是真正重要的。 2.续写线索：买不起礼物而心烦——想出解决办法自制礼物——朱莉打开礼物盒使得激动——作者如释重负的心情——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.想出解决方案：figure out a solution / find a resolution ②.我突然想到：it occurred to me that… / it dawned on me that… ③.意识到：realize / perceive 情绪类 ①.发出兴奋的叫声：let out a cry of excitement / shout with joy ②.微笑：smile / beam 【点睛】[高分句型1].
